Explore the Italian Riviera in September with NYU Alumni

I have been promoting the NYU Alumni Travel Program every now and then on this blog and this trip really looks great. Here are just some of the highlights:

* Delight in stunning views of the coastal and mountain scenery from your room at the first-class Hotel Vis à Vis, overlooking the charming town of Sestri Levante.* Visit the beautiful villages of the famous Five Lands, the coastal Cinque Terre.* Discover Portofino, nestled in a picturesque harbor, and the seaside resort of Santa Margherita.* Explore Genoa, the affluent medieval city-state and maritime republic credited as the birthplace of Christopher Columbus.* See the magic of a sculptor at work in Carrara and marvel at the transformation of the famous snow-white marble into art.* Journey to the Tuscan town of Lucca to see its magnificent medieval monuments.

If you have been on any of the recent trips and I know many of you have, please be sure to send your photos our way so they can be posted on this blog and shared with the alumni community.
